chip repair is a fantastic option for those of you with minor windshield damage, that can be fixed without completely replacing your windshield
What exactly is Windshield Repair
Rock chips are especially common in Central Oregon, where volcanic pumice and basalt road surfaces are harder and more angular than the rounded gravel used in most other regions — and Highway 97’s heavy truck traffic keeps that material airborne year-round. Chip Norris has been repairing rock chips for Bend, Sunriver, and Redmond drivers since 2010, with technicians who come to your home, office, or wherever your vehicle is parked.
Road debris often strikes a windshield and creates damage in the glass. Unless the cracking process is stopped, it may continue to expand to cover large areas of the windshield. These damages range from small “nicks” to large shattered areas. Large cracks in your windshield can weaken the structural integrity of your vehicle’s roof. Most of the smaller damages can be repaired without removing or replacing the windshield, thus stopping the cracking process.
Chip repair is accomplished by injecting a bonding agent, referred to as resin, into the broken area. This bonding agent then bonds the glass surfaces together inside the broken area, stops the cracking or breaking process and maintains the safety of your vehicle.
Benefits of Chip Repair
• Most rock chips smaller than a quarter can be repaired in 30-45 minutes, often for less than your insurance deductible
• Repaired chips are stopped from spreading before Central Oregon’s temperature swings turn them into full cracks
